What are Five Elements?
It refers to Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal & Water.
It represents five different ‘energies (Qi)’, five different ‘essentials (Yuan Su)’ and five different ‘symbols (Fu Hao)’.
Despite their intangibility, they wield great influences on the entire universe.
Forefathers through years of experience discovered that the Five Elements in fact possess similar properties as the physical metal, water, wood, fire and earth, which we see and feel everyday.
These Five Primary Essentials affect the universe. They are not stagnant but always active.
Between them, conversion, opposition, interdependence and suppression take place.

Hi Master Goh,
There is also a saying, the 5 elements is just using (wood, fire, earth, metal, and water) as representative. it can mean others or be change.
example, 5 difference metals, can also represent 5 elements
- Hard Metal = metal
- Hot Metal = fire
- Cold Metal = water
- soft metal = wood
- small pieces metal = earth.
Hope i don't confuse you :)
